Volunteering in Ecuador while you are learning Spanish, or once you have finished your studies, is a great way to not only immerse yourself in the language, but also offers the chance to experience and learn about a new culture as well as give something back to the people and places you are visiting.
Below you will find links to information about the grass-roots organizations and communities that we collaborate with in Ecuador on our mission to promote sustainable development. You can volunteer in Quito or Cuenca while you study Spanish, and volunteer in projects all around Ecuador afterwards, including on the Galapapgos Islands.
